Vintage Round Sunglasses John Lennon Style Steampunk with Polarized Lenses for Retro Women and Men

There are a lot of things being said in the comments about these glasses. Here's a drama-free rundown.Claim: "The glasses are small."Truth: They are smaller than I expected, but when I see people using words like "tiny" or "comically small" I consider those exaggerations. I have a normally sized head/face, and these glasses are not so small that they look ridiculous. They fit fine. Beyond that, they're comfortable! They don't pinch or anything like that.Claim: "The lenses are huge."Truth: Depends on how you look at it. I ran a test in the mirror where I wore the glasses, and made different facial expressions that involve my eyebrows (confusion, anger, etc). The lenses were large enough to cover a lot of that. But look at the bright sides of this: they're blocking the sun very well from your peripheral vision. And people can't easily tell what your "face is saying" either. These are good glasses for poker games!Claim: "The lenses are dark."Truth: Absolutely true. But they are not too dark to, say, drive while wearing them. My eyes are sensitive to light and these glasses hit the spot for me.Claim: "The glasses are cheaply constructed."Truth: This is better worded "these glasses are not high-end." No, they're not, but they're not cheap either. The glasses are sturdy, can withstand reasonable abuse (my 15-month old daughter pulled them from my pocket.. good things never come from that), etc.So ignore the bleeding hearts. I gave these glasses 4/5 stars."Why did you not give them five stars?"Glad you asked. The lenses are polarized, but being circular they can also move within the frames relatively easily. This means one lens can be blocking out more glare than the other, causing a bizarre 3D glasses effect. But a few moments of adjusting the lenses will remedy this. So yeah, a little hands-on maintenance that can be annoying, but it's not so bad.My only other complaint is people making John Lennon jokes, but that has absolutely nothing to do with the manufacture of these glasses. Just be prepared that when you wear these, your more smart-alek friends will think they're clever by bludgeoning you to death with a tired old joke. I just respond by saying I look like Leon from "The Professional." Then I say "no women, no kids" in a menacing way, and walk off.I'd totally buy another pair of these glasses if I needed to. And I fully recommend them!

High quality, good structure and are a great but. Definitely recommended.

Tell you what. I expected cheap sunglasses. What I got was a pleasant surprise. These came nicely packaged with cleaning cloth, case, a screwdriver for the glasses. The glasses don't feel cheap and they are very well constructed. They aren't too big for my face or make me look like Janice Joplin either, so thats a plus!

Cute on and off, except you will not be able to see through them... LOLThe coating is thick on both sides. The dark gray coating on the inside makes this almost non-transparent. I ended up giving this to my 14-yr old niece just to look cute on, not necessarily for function. At one point when she had them on, she ran into a car door because she couldn't see clearly. More LOL.I have bought about a dozen of these mirrored sunglasses because they're IN this season. Didn't want to spend the money on real good brands since I thought this was a passing phase. I've looked at hundreds, and paid hundreds by now, I should've just bit the bullet and got the good brand. The best "cheapy" so far is the one at Free People, for $20, and it's rainbow on silver frame. All others from my online purchases are in the trash or in the hands/faces of poor victims who will end up throwing them out.After spending all that money, I still ended up spending more money and got the real deal. RayBan mirrored Blue Green. And I can see through them!! Maui Jims make good ones too, btw... but again, $$$

Lens size is bigger than I was expecting and looks rather comical on smaller faces. The quality is below prescription frames & lenses, but is far superior to drug-store sunglasses...so they are definitively better than $5 sunglasses, but not as great as $150 sunglasses. The metal parts are light and sturdy and the hinges are really nice quality (just barely below prescription frame hinges). The only cheap and flimsy parts are the nose guards. Overall a good buy for the price.Not sure what I think about the polarized lenses though. It takes some getting used to, although it definitely does alleviate squinting and the headaches caused by light-sensitivity...I just feel like I'm trippin' balls when wearing these out in daylight and look at metallic objects (oh, and do not look at a non-LED LCD or try driving with these on. Just a friendly warning!).To the person complaining about how these 60's style glasses aren't of the same quality as the ones he bought in the 60's and are more expensive than the ones he bought in the 60's: seriously d00d that was 50 years ago and thanks to the progress of science and industry we developed these cool space-age materials in the decades since, such as plastics and lightweight amorphous metals that are far more durable than the brittle nylon and tin alloys used back then. As for price there is this thing called "inflation" (maybe you've heard of it?). Just like gas (petrol) today costs many times more than the $0.05/gallon that it did back in the 60's, these shades would be the equivalent of $2.50 pair of shades from the 60's which is priced just about right. Why don't you take your Nostalgia Goggles off and go back to telling kids to get off your lawn instead of leaving "back in my day" reviews!
